Gene Krupa, an old time drummer, was famous for his physical fitness.

Some heavy metal drummers have pretty decent calves from doing double bass

Very untrue.  Some do, some don't.  Maybe calves, or the right calve for the bass drum.  You work more slow twitch fibers when playing the drums.  These are not as evident in appearance, much like a runner.
Speaking of runners, do these guys have a dedication like no other to put on as little lean body mass as humanly possible?  When I see people run, I cringe.  Nice way to lose the muscle you just worked for...assuming you're running for more than 5 minutes at the same pace.
I know, not everyone wants the bodybuilder look....translation: I don't want to work too hard when I go to the gym..haha

Haha yeah i love when i hear the 150lb guy say "i don't want to do bodybuilding as you just get too big" As far as their concerned, anyone who trains hard for about 15 years can become a pro bodybuilder.
No doubt about it...

Epic Ramble

during the chicago marathon a little while back, i watched some of it on tv.  some of the runners were straight fat.  they can run 26 miles but have a gut.  and i don't mean skinny fat, these guys are just fat.

so much for the "eat what you want as long as you burn it off" theory.

If you drum correctly you look normal like anybody else. I have played 14 years and the only thing i have is slightly more muscular forearms then an average guy. I cant say that isn't genetic though.

The only thing drummers as a group have is a higher than normal tendency to wear funny-looking hats on stage.  Seriously, why do these guys feel the need to dress up like Abe Lincoln and Jason Vorhees' love spawn just to get a little attention?

As if the drums have anything to do w/ your massive forearms, BSB. It's ok man, I'd hide in the basement and jack off too if I had 9 kids. :D
